During INDEX 17, one of the world’s largest gatherings for nonwoven material presentations and exhibition, the organizers (Edana) once again held a geotextiles seminar. The presentations from the April 6 event have been made available free for viewing online. These presentations include the Q&A sessions that followed.
Each video module allows you to move to any point by powerpoint slide. The presentations simultaneously show the lecturer and the slides.
The three-hour geotextiles seminar was moderated by IGS Past President Daniele Cazzuffi and included many well-known names in the geosynthetics field and leaders from the International Geosynthetics Society. They discussed long-term durability, use in hydraulic applications, waste management, sustainability, and much more.
